In some ways this book was even more difficult to read than the first one. It's essentially a laundry list of bad decisions Whitey made over several years as he bounced from prison to prison and violated parole. Reading it all laid out like that was very disheartening and also, in my opinion, unnecessarily repetitive. Unlike the first book this one had almost no redemption to it. I wish there had been more about Whitey's life after prison and the change in him, especially his relationship with God.
